Deal with inconsiderate people while fishing?
This is becoming an issue a bit here lately, I understand the spawning process makes everyone a little tense and most are still transitioning from the winter to spring. In the last couple of weeks I've dealt with being crowded out after someone spotted a fish being caught from my boat (twice in the same day). Then same thing yesterday, but only with a good bit of attitude. Started off fishing a cove one boat in there in the very back when I came in. I visualised a patten I was going to work and started jigging the trees and brush while keeping my distance from the guy in the back. Well I guess two boats in a cove mean that's where the fish are at apparently. So here he comes in outboard wide open sending wakes everywhere. Now I'm a human bobber in a small cove fighting to stay off the bank with the trolling motor. So he just butts right on in front of me. I didn't say a word just trolled across the small cove to the other side. A few minutes pass and I hook my first keeper of the day (one of only two) so here he and his buddy come. This time I didn't move so he starts in with what's water temp, I tell him. He says that's a lie, then asked if I've been having any luck lately. I said some with wading, he makes comments to his buddy about how unfair wading is and how some people rely on electronics to catch there fish. I didn't even comment considering I'm there to fish not debate some idiot with a room temperature IQ. Had a sales rep off mine got so mad last year fishing Enid he slung a crank bait at a guys head from 40 feet away. I don't ever wanna be that guy, but I was pretty riled yesterday, but managed to stay on the higher road. Any suggestions?
